I've been on these boards since the time Age of Worms came out in Dungeon mag. At first it was to lurk, but then it was to get involved.
Over those many years, I have found this to be a fantastic site to visit. A place to share my thoughts and a place to argue in a polite manner about something I've loved since I was in grade six, rolelpay.
Sadly, my life has become infinitely more complicated over the last few years. Now it has reached a point where these boards no longer provide solace but rather contribute to a large stress system I've managed to accumulate for myself. No one here is to blame, it is purely a product of my own thought processes and life in general.
In order to provide some closure on this, and end on a very positive note for me, I'm posting this thread to offer thanks for those who've impacted positively over the last few years on these boards.
Firstly, to James Jacobs - Mate, apart from creating an amazing world and sharing it with us, you once offered me personal advice about sticking to my career (science teacher). As silly as it might sound, I took that advice and ran with it, much to my benefit and subsequent joy. Thank you so much for the words you've shared with me personally in a few different threads and also for everything you've offered in gaming.
Secondly, Jason Buhlman - (Which I always seem to misspell). I love your iteration of the rules more than any game I've played to date. Much of this is the game world itself, however your rules and have provided a great ability to continue a game I enjoy. You also personally signed my first printing copy of the rulebook when you came to Australia. Something I've kept and something I regularly tell my gaming buddies about. Legendary work big man.
To those who've been involved in my Play by Posts. Thanks to all of you for the great games. PbP is still the best medium for getting full effect of roelplay out of Pathfinder that I've found. We had some epic stuff started in those games, and I only regret that I couldn't run any of them longer than I did.
In particular to French Wolf and Mark Thomas66. Both of you got involved in many of my games, and you guys proved to be great friends as well great gamers.
Kirth - We rarely ever agreed on anything kirth, but your insightful discussions and analysis opened my eyes to many things I'd never even thought of. I valued your opinion, though often disagreed with it.
To some long lost folks from these boards. Aubury, Sebastion and Heathensson. For making me laugh, and offering sage advice in my early years on these boards.
Ok, well that feels a bit weird to type publically, but apparently it's meant to be cathartic for me and should help bring some closure so I can actually walk away from this type of thing. I have a few more points to discuss on a thread I've created this weekend, then I need to walk away for good.
Cheers to you all
Wrath

No game or forum should become a point of stress, iMO. Sometimes a little break is what's required to find that touchstone of joy that brought you here in the first place. Although I don't know you, I wish you the best in finding that solace and returning to your joy.

I couldn't have frased it better myself. I also wish you the best.
Wow that sucks. Well hope all you need is some time away and find joy here once again in the future. Don't know you but I lift a beer (or 3) to you and wish you the best. Cheers!!
You don't know me, but I can relate on a certain level. Take care and know that you can always "come home" to the boards when you're ready.
Same. Take care, and if possible, come back when things feel better. We'll still be arguing, FaWTL 6 will still be there, and monks will still be underpowered. :-)
I understand. I am just about there myself. I expect to cancel my subscriptions and be gone for good very soon. It is just too stressful being atacked all the time. I use to have a good time here but no longer.

Good luck my brother from another mother, I too understand your situation as I to took an extended break from tabletop gaming.....But I made it back and am very happy.
Take your time, get better and yes as sissyl put it monks will have issues as well as paladins and oh yeah the "broken" summoner.
Good Luck and Good Wishes

Absolutely.
My mantra has always been: Real Life Comes First [tm]. The day it's no longer fun is the day it's time to stop spending time on it.
Take care, Wrath, and hope you find time again to play.

Dear Wrath,
Human-beings are idiots. (Most non-succubus life-forms are, in fact, but that's beside the point.) There are a few exceptions (as there are with many such sweeping generalisations as my earlier observation Re: humans & idiocy) but they appear to be relatively few and far between.
Now, that said, it's understandable why you may feel the need to go and take a break to digest this realisation. Orcus knows, when I first realised the drivelling depths of their all-too-frequent inanities... well, it took me several decades to recover, and I happen to be a highly sophisticated, cultured, and refined succubus.
...crush your enemies...
...lakes of blood...
Anyway, the most important thing is for you to take as much time away from here as is necessary for you. Best Wishes for the future.
Ask A Succubus.
